in the ten years that led into the march on washington, the american economy grew. the gdp by some 41%. at the same time, african-americans were suffering massive unemployment at a rate twice that of whites. those who did have jobs were largely consigned to jobs as domestics or underpaid agricultural workers. about 42% of african-americans, again in city, were living below the poverty line of $3,000 a year. so the march on washington in john lewis' attempt, in some case, to put a face on it early was to remind americans that economic justice required political power. in the two months before the march when king spoke in detroit before a crowd of 150,000, he reminded them there in his version of the "i have a dream" speech in detroit that it was time for blacks to have access to housing and jobs. >> let me get you to pause one second as we watch the president and the first lady now desce descending the stairs. this will be followed by the star-spangled banner performance. you see the president there. his remarks are scheduled around 2:44 p.m. eastern time. it is now
